The Origin of Man

The Origin of Man

Where would love be

without God's creation?

But here, on this earth,

Darwin's laws apply.

And creation is a living,

voracious beast

who strives to survive.

Who stretches up,

beyond the forest

towards the sun,

in order to flourish.

Humanity thrives

because of the innate drive

for self preservation.

The need to fulfil

and grow and consume.

The desire to procreate,

to f**k

and impregnate.

All else is a pretty lie,

a delusion created

to assuage pretentious

'catholic' guilt.
